Major General is a rank in the armed forces of a large number of the world's countries. In the United States, a Major General is a two star, general rank officer in the US Army, US Air Force, and US Marine Corps.

Major Generals are an O-8 pay grade. That means that they are paid between $9683.10 per month, and $13,959.30 per month, depending on cumulative years of service. and are preceded in rank by Brigadier Generals, and our superseded in rank by Lieutenant Generals.

The rank of Major General in the US Army, US Air Force, and US Marine Corps is equivalent to the rank of Rear Admiral in the other services (Navy, Coast Guard, etc.)

Who was leader of the union during the civil war?

Here is an incomplete list of officers who commanded Union Armies and/or Military Departments during the war. The list is not comprehensive by any means however, as the Union constantly reorganized its forces and shuffled commanders around. Some of these men commanded more than one army or department during the conflict. Brigadier General Irvin McDowell, Major General George B. McClellan, Major General Ambrose E. Burnside, Major General Joseph Hooker, Major General George G. Meade, Brigadier General Robert Anderson, Major General William S. Rosencrans, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler, Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks, Maj. Gen. Edward Ord, Maj.Gen. John Pope, Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand, Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, Maj. Gen. Phillip Sheridan, Maj. Gen William T. Sherman, Brig. Gen. George Crook Other Noteworthy Union Generals were: Lietenant General Ulysses S. Grant, Maj. Gen Henry W. Halleck, Gen.-in-Chief Winfield Scott, Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds, Maj. Gen. Abner Doubleday, Brig. Gen. George A. Custer, Brig. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren. Again this list is not nearly complete and there are many more who should be added, but I have only a couple of my references availble at the moment and a limited time to research them.
